1st Chicago / Portland / London Zoom Meetup in the books!

[Ryan Ross]

Hi Everyone, wanted to share some of the takeaways of a meetup I took part in. I wish I had made less of a derp face for the photo. 

We discussed the markets we were located/interested in investing in (Portland, Chicago and New Jersey), chatted about demographics and where and why populations would be moving in the future, and discussed a few books and media recommendations. We are all starting out in real estate investing, trying to learn more about the industry.

Topline Notes:

• 18-hour cities
• Condo is an apartment that you buy.
• Co-op: one building is one LLC.
• Peter Zeihan books:
